Four Star Extra was a science fiction fanzine by Arnie and Joyce Worley Katz, and Bill and Charlene Kunkel.

Four Star Extra appeared in the 1970s in New York, U.S.A. Eight issues were released, all in 1978.

For Issue 7 the theme was "Monstermania",w ith articles on classic horror films such as Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and Bela Lugosi's Dracula.

In the review from Checkpoint 94 of February/March 1979, Peter Roberts writes, "Large joint personalzine, often containing some fine fannish writing."

In listing his Top Ten favorite fanzines from the 1970s, Greg Pickersgill included Four Star Extra, saying it was, "Not especially fannish except in tone, just really great fan-type writing about things that really fascinated me—I always remember the ‘sex’ issue with great fondness."

Bill and Charlene Kunkel also published the fanzine Rats!.
